What stock manifolds/headers Can I use for diy single.

I am building a single turbo s10. I know not a camaro but alot of people told me to come over here and ask. I am trying to find a set of manifolds, or headers off somthing stock I can turn around so they will be pointed downward and finish my hotside that way? Can anyone recomend somthing they have used that would work.

I'm looking to do the same thing.. I did some looking around and I wasn't able to find any manifolds that would work(I have A/C, power steering, etc). I plan on fabbing up a set of headers from mild steel using 3/8" flanges and weld els..

Let me know if you find anything that will work..


Thanks,
-Matt

I'm guessin I4 motor? Best thing to do is to DIY custom mani. Some civic forums have really good info on this, seems that a DIY Custom exhaust mani will be WAY better than a "log" type mani. Turbod16.com is a good place to look.

I'd have better advice, but my Amazon-ordered books haven't gotten in yet, so that's the best I can say right now...

I'm doing mine on a 350 V8.. I plan to run the crossover up front below the harmonic balancer much like the sy/tys are.. I would also like to place the turbo similar to the sy/tys but a bit further away from the a/c compressor and angeled a bit diff to allow better downpipe clearance...

When you fab the rest of the hotside just put the turbo where you have room inder the S10

Those are factory Corvette manifolds? Off of what years? Those just may be what I've been needing
Thanks,
